To be unmarried is a shame in Turkey, and even the slave girls after seven years of service get their freedom and are presented ivith a husband. In Turkey married men are re- garded with special favor, but hb a fact they have very little to with getting married, nor, for that matter, have the girls they marry, for it's the man's mother who does it all. She makes a tour of the harems that seem likely, looking over their eligible girls, and by and by she picks-out one for her son. It is a mother's privilege in Turkey to select her daughter-in-law. The girls who are not voluntari- ly chosen are supplied with hus- bands by t he bribes or diplomacy of their fathers. Sometimes this system, which f wins to ha...
